Sometimes we get angry about the limitations we face, but the conversation always continues There are even plans to create a tactile navigation line along the route I took, to help visually impaired visitors move from the train station to the city centre through Valkenbergpark. You don’t even have to pull open the main door to enter the hotel: a camera detects your arrival and the door opens automatically. Once at the hotel, I found wellness and physiotherapy facilities for disabled guests the accessible rooms had lowered wardrobes and mirrors, wheel-in showers and seated baths. I learned that all buses and bus stops in the city are now fully accessible to wheelchair users, with drivers trained in disability awareness. I saw the portable threshold ramps that Breda’s shopkeepers lay out when they raise their shutters in the morning, encouraging business from customers of all abilities – something you rarely see in the UK. It was a literal breath of fresh air pushing myself through Valkenbergpark’s widened, flat pathways. The medieval city of Breda has flipped its cobblestones and sliced them to create a more accessible but still photogenic street.
